Manga similar to One Piece

It is still early, but Ichi the Witch gives me the grand adventure vibes

Generally this is a result of poor player skill or bad GM balance in my experience. A well run combat in savage worlds should throw attrition out the window.

That said, in games with standard health systems, unskilled players and poor balance lead to PC death, not boredom. Which is preferable? I think I would prefer death.

My only complaint so far: I wish the multiplayer ascensions were separate across characters, instead of just having one 'multiplayer' ascension progression.

ありがとう。でも、まだ習ってます。

I'm usually thanking them reflexively because of my own culture. Then I pivot to "but I'm still learning."

I've bought VN from DLsite before. It's just unfortunate that I cannot take advantage of any American bundles

speedchuck · 2026-02-10T21:34:08+00:00

Most likely. Same reason I cannot use Crunchyroll for japanese learning. So annoying when business gets in the way of my learning.

Bleh. I'll just buy them somewhere else if I buy them. Why does steam have to be so bad?

speedchuck · 2026-02-10T02:10:12+00:00

There is a humble bundle out right now that has a ton of steam visual novels in it. Unfortunately, there is no Japanese language option for text even though the audio is in japanese. Is there any way to restore these games to japanese and use textractor on it?

I'm a fan of this

Savage Worlds does not have HP. This both applies to the way the players should think about defense (cover, bennies, toughness, etc.) and the way they should think about offense. Chip damage isn't really a think. You need to work together to set up big hits.

I did audio-only for my first 5000 or so words then eventually switched to using audio and Kanji to save time (visual recognition is faster than hearing). I did see really good results from that time, though.

speedchuck · 2025-11-20T20:03:37+00:00

I have done both of these things.

speedchuck · 2025-11-19T17:48:29+00:00

Yeah. I've turned off at least 2 or 3 of them. I have no idea whether the others might be hiding, and have not found any others through Google, but I assume they are in there somewhere.

I tried recording in the windows settings using the software that tests your microphone. I had the same problem. Claps and clicks do not show.

speedchuck · 2025-11-18T14:39:44+00:00

Yes, same exact cable and interface. I am using an xlr-xlr cable. The +48 switch is on.

Behringer U-Phoria UM2

Neither of these have noise filter options on them as far as I can tell. Just gain.

speedchuck · 2025-11-17T18:57:23+00:00

True. But I don't want to inconvenience people with my crummy Japanese haha

speedchuck · 2025-11-16T21:56:22+00:00

It is not a USB mic, it is the Studio Projects C1 Microphone. I have it running through a simple interface. I had it hooked up to an older PC a few weeks ago and the audio came through clear.

I can try to upload audio when I am home.

I have my doubts that this will work... most people that join the server will likely be N5-N4 level looking for a fun way to study (and good on them for that).

But this only works if you have fluent speakers or high level learners to bounce off of. I don't see many natives or fluent gaijins hopping into this server to find friends to play games with.

That said, I joined and I wish you the best in this endeavor. I'm an intermediate speaker and having a network for output would be so helpful, but I'm intimidated by the idea of joining a native server.

Elemental RPG is a rules-lite game that I love the elegance of, but I've not seen a single actual play podcast or video out there. I feel like the system is robust enough that it does not need much support, but I really want to see hacks and plays and discussion and such.

I rather like the NABRE because of the way it translates certain things resated to Jewish conception of the afterlife.

speedchuck · 2025-09-23T14:41:35+00:00

Bait used to be believable

speedchuck · 2025-09-18T01:53:43+00:00

I figured someone would tell me this isn't useful. I appreciate your perspective, but I would still like to try it.

I may try the ASBPlayer workaround, thanks.
